Shiny Snakes Seeking Sweets.

From the San francisco Examiner.
Ibid you ever hear of the cream snake!
No. Well, when / was boy that particu-
lar kind of snake was the cause of my get
ting many good scolding from my father
and mother. My father owns ranch in
San Mateo county, and among other things
keeps a lot of cows. He prideS himself upon
the excellence of the butter he makes, and
to make good butter you must have good
cream. You could get anything on the
ranch from my father except mouthful of
that cream.
IAN boys and girls are passionately fond
of rich, sweet cream, and | had my weak
ness in that line, but | was scared to death
for fear my father would catch me skim
ming the dishes. Once in while stole
little mess and then drew the heavy cream
over the part SKINNED, as if nobody had
touched it. Well, the cream went anyhow
to an alarming degree, and of course l was
blamed for it.
Might after night the marauders came,
and there was evidence that dish after dish
had been tempered with. Ny father at last
lost all patience and threatened to lick me
soundly, and guess he'd have done so, but
mother interfered. | protested my inno-
cence, because the little spoonful of cream |
took once III great while amounted to moth.
ing. He was still incredulous, and to get
even with me | was placed on guard to
watch the dairy.
at was kind of hard for boy Is or II
years Of age to sit up all night and watch
for cream burglars. But did it like little
man. With revolver in my hip-pocket
and dark lantern in my hand, laid in
wait for the enemy. did not have to wait
long.
About midnight when everything was
still as death, could see some things crawl
ing up to the pans, and getting there
seemed to be levelling on the contents. |
approached with the greatest caution and
there what did l see but half-dozen snakes
from two TO three feet long, gorging them
selves with cream.
II wanted to get near enough to shoot a
couple of them, but by accident | made a
no Sc and the reptilian burglars made their
escape. / solved the mystery; father solved
it next night, and was exonerated from
all blame. The day following we covered
the dishes over with tin, with small
holes bored in il, and put tin on
that portion of the dairy where the
snakes climbed to the pans. The cream was
then perfectly secure, but there wasn't a
night for months that the slime of snakes
couldn't be seen on the tin. The reptiles
finally got tired of the iooling and left If
you visit my fathers ranch you can see the
tin there to this day."

NO CHICKENS FOR HIM.
He Only Desired to Scare the Bad

6e only desired TO Scare the Bad
Boys Who Did Steal Them.
A colored youth named Gay swinton was
brought to the barracks last night as a sus-
picious character. He was found sleeping
under a church on the corner of Anderson
and Barnard streets. A queer coinci-
dence of his choosing this place as
a ''roost" is that Frank Sawyer, liv-
ing near by, has some fine chickens.
IL was question whether the chickens at
tracted Swinton or Swinton the fowls. 1t
may have been mutual, for the owner said
they had been rapidly disappearing of late
Swiuton opened wide his eyes at the mere
idea Of him stealing chickens. mo, boss,
don't steal emmy Chickens he said. On the
contrary, he is a sort Of public benefactor
and private Waterman, as he told the
Sergeant that he heard the chickens
squall, anil that he jumped over
the fence and ran after the boys who stole
them just TO scare them. The idea of his
purloining poor motherlesS chicks he repu-
dated with great indignation. He expressed
q willingness TO tell who these bad boys
we're, ana he was given q private room in
the stone mansion, aud this morning in his
innocent. childlike'and bland way, he will
tell the Mayor where the gang" can be

The Orange Belt All Right.

Mr.. G. D. Ackerly, the general passenger
agent of the Orange Belt railway, was in
Jacksonville, Fla, Friday, and in response
to inquiries as to the financial condition of
his road and the rumor that was afoat to
had entered suit against the company, he
said:
1.-THE rumor of the suit brought against
the road by the contractors is true. Two
of them became frightened, owing to a de-
lay in our getting money, in consequence of
which delay we were behind with their pay
ments. They have brought suit againt the
road for the amounts due them.
about five months ago we allowed one
pay day to run over about thirty days, and
again we paid to contractor about $1,000
to pay his hands with. He pocketed the
money and skipped ont without paying his
hands. These two instances have caused
some to think that the road was on an I'M
safe financial footing, but you can readily
see that the first instance might occur to
any business firm or corporation, while in
the latter case no blame can be attached
to us.n
do you see your way clearly out of your
present embarrassment ' was asked.
Certainly. Mr.. p. A. Demons, the gen
eral manager, is now in New York. and is
making arrangements for the raising of
necessary funds to be used in its construc-
ton. We will soon have all the money
necessary for the completion of our work,
and you may rest assured that the Orange
Belt Railroad will be completed and trains
running before many months.
1.-THE management of this road has had
more to contend with than falls to the lot of
ordinary men, but tell you we are made
of the stuff that sticks, and yon will see the
Orange Belt Railway completed and run
ming despite the efforts of enemies to defeat
our plans

BAKING POWDER.
HEALTH IN THE DD77< 40.

Perfect food is That which, while prepared i ::e ost

1t should never necessary sacrifice the vhoescneccss
of an article in order to make palaabe nor as is
too often the case should be compelled take our
bread or cake bereft of it's appezing qualities in
order to avoid injury to digestive organs.
The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar quality,
not possessed by any other eavenng agent that applies
directly this subject 1t provides bread biscuit cake
mufins rolls which may be eaten when hot without
inconvenience by persons of the most delicate digestive
organs With most persons necessary that bread raised
with yeast should lose freshness stale before
it can be with safety The distressing results
follow eating biscuit cake pastry etc, raised by the
cheap inferior baking powders that contain ire alum,
phosphates other adulterants The hot roll and muffin
and the delicious hot griddle cakes raised h the loyal
Baking Powder are as wholesome and dgeshle warm
SOUP meat or any other food
Another greatly superior quality possessed by the
ROYAL Baking Powder by which the preservation of
important elements of the -four is effected in raising the
bread bv the mechanical operation of the gas without fer
mentaon Yeast and all baking powders that produce the
eavenng gas by fermentation, is well known, destroy

Baking Powder while perfectly leavenng retains without
change or impairment all those clements which in

No leavening agent baking powder except the Royal
Baking Powder possesses these great qualifications.

Two of Durant's Little Jokes.

From. the 81. Paul Pioneer Press.
f. w. Durant, Stillwaters Senator and
joker, has been a summer trip to the sea-
shore with his wife, and if the stories that
come floating in from Long Branch are all
true he had a good time. One day at table
a big mosquito of the Jersey breed lighted
on the Senator's hands With an expression
of horror and amazement ON his counter
ance the Senator beckoned to a waiter and
inquired:
'What is this animalf'
''What is it? Why, it's skeeter. Didn't
you you ever see a skeeterm replied the
waiter.
xiii it," commanded Durant.
The waiter obeyed.
Remove the corpse"
The waiter gave the Senator's hand
brush with a napkin.
well, never saw anything like that be-
fore!" solemnly remarked the gentleman
who had been fighting mosquitoes at Still
water all his life.
On another occasion at table Mr. Durant
observed sitting near him quite an old gen
tlemap accompanied by a pretty young
lady, who he correctly surmiSed was the
old genaeman's bride. They were on their
wedding trip. The Senator gave his wife
the wink and began to guy the ill-aSsorted
pair.
"Are you enjoying your wedding trip
with me, he remarked to Mrs. Durant, "as
well as you did the one you took with your
first husband"
He heard the old gentleman mutter be-
tween his teeth:
"Thats devil of question to ask a
woman in this place"
The Saltwater Senator gained fresh in
spiration from this, and the way he PLAYED
the game of second husband on wedding
trip was surprise to the whole table. The
old man and his darling, however, failed to
relish it, and blushed with an intensity that
caused the ice cream to melt

SLOW PROGRESS.
What Capt. w. w. Gordon Says of the
Legislative Work.

What Capt w. w. Gordon Says of the
Legislative Work.
Representative Gordon came down from
Atlanta Saturday night for a short rest at
home. He was seen yesterday and asked
regarding the progress of the bills in what
Savannah is most interested in. The Ordi-
nary's fee bill No. 492 is next on Che calen-
dar, and viii soon come up. Then fol-
lows the Georgia Mutual Insurance
Company bill No 493, then City Assessors
bill No. 494, and then the Savannah, Macon
and Birmingham railroad bill No. 502
This latter, the Captain said, would likely
cause good deal of discussion. After the
Railroad Commissioners added a proviso
that the charter should not take effect till
Oct. l, 1888, it passed the committee with
but one dissenting vote, but since then an
opposition has arisen and it will require
work to get it through. But he saw no
reason TO object to It, as no railroad charters
were ever refused before, always being
granted whenever asked.
The Justices bill is still in the hands of
the committee, and Capt Gordon did not
know its status. The bin sent up by the City
